    Hanoi - After nearly 20 years of "shelving", the Ke Khe ditch culvert project and the construction of the Nui Truc - Son Tay connecting road are having positive changes.

    Sau gần 20 năm kể từ ngày được phê duyệt, dự án cống hóa mương Kẻ Khế kết hợp xây dựng tuyến đường nối từ nút rẽ phố Núi Trúc đến phố Sơn Tây đã có những chuyển biến mang tính bước ngoặt, khi phần lớn các hộ dân thuộc diện ảnh hưởng đã đồng thuận bàn giao nhà và đất để phục vụ công tác thi công.
    The Ke Khe canal culvert project and the construction of the Nui Truc - Son Tay connecting road were approved in 2008 (according to Decision No. 2447/QD-UBND of the Hanoi City People's Committee), nearly 20 years after being approved, the project has had positive changes, when most of the affected households have agreed to hand over houses and land to serve construction work.
    Mương Kẻ Khế dài khoảng 1,7km, nằm trên địa bàn phường Ngọc Hà (Hà Nội). Trong đó, khoảng 750m vẫn là mương hở, nhiều năm qua trở thành điểm ô nhiễm do nước thải sinh hoạt và rác thải tập kết dọc hai bên bờ.
    Ke Khe ditch has a total length of about 1.7 km running along Ngoc Ha ward (Hanoi), of which there are still about 750m of open ditch beds. For many years, this has become a hotspot for environmental pollution due to suffering from large amounts of domestic wastewater and spontaneous waste collection along both banks.
    Nhờ sự vào cuộc đồng bộ của cả hệ thống chính trị, công tác giải phóng mặt bằng đã có những chuyển biến rõ nét. Đến ngày 1-7-2026, toàn bộ 201 phương án bồi thường của dự án đã được phê duyệt. Trong đó, 200 trường hợp đã hoàn tất việc bàn giao mặt bằng, chỉ còn một trường hợp chưa thực hiện do người đại diện thừa kế đang sinh sống ở nước ngoài.
    Real-world records at the scene show that most households have handed over the site, and construction and leveling have begun.

    For people in the area, the new changes at the project are a positive sign. Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Huong (Ngoc Ha ward) said that she has clearly felt the changes and hopes that the project will soon be implemented synchronously, not only contributing to changing the urban appearance but also raising awareness of environmental sanitation, ending prolonged pollution.

    Workers urgently construct on the Ke Khe ditch construction site to ensure progress.

    Besides the sections being urgently constructed, reporters also recorded the reality that the road leading to the ditch in alley 36 Giang Van Minh is currently degraded. The road surface is muddy, causing great impact on people's lives and travel.

    People said that every time it rains, this road becomes muddy, causing many difficulties for travel. Everyone must be very careful to avoid slipping. Therefore, people hope the project will be completed synchronously soon, bringing a more spacious, clean and beautiful road and a healthier living environment.
    kết
    The basic completion of site clearance work after nearly two decades of deadlock is expected to create a boost for the progress of the Ke Khe canal culvert project. When completed, the project will not only definitively solve the prolonged environmental pollution situation but also form a new inner-city traffic route, contributing to urban embellishment, improving the quality of life of people and creating motivation for development for the central area of the Capital.
